sentab × fh Courie el-290-IN-SPRING 20 Shudy Guide Exam 1.pd nttos://presentation coen plugnile.php,606860 1 of 2 - + Automatic Zoom Chapter 9: Sensory System Understand the different TYPES of receptors (what do mechanoreceptors "detect" vs what say chemoreceptors "detect") What structure in the brain is the Gateway to the Cerebral Cortex (and what does it do for us) What is the difference between receptor potentials in this system comaared to Action Potentials in the general nervous system? What are Proprioceptors? What TYPE of receptor are they? What are the two main proprioceptors covered in the course and how do they differ from each other yet work together? What are the various types of touch receptors? Pressure receptors? What's referred pain? Why does it happen? iAnd note the specific patterns I asked you to know) Special Senses: Taste, Smel , Vision, Hearing & Equilibrium For each, make sure you know where the receptors are, what IYPE of receptors each are, what at house these receptors that you need to know, what is special/unique are the about tnem (things mentioned in lecture such as what vitarnin s needed to make vis on work, and why might ice cream TASTE better if you lick it in a cone rather than spoon tin-I call these Fun Facts" ipe here to search
Explanation / Answer
Receptors are the special cells that detect change in environment and send sensory signals to the body.
Mechanoreceptor detect mechanical pressure like touch distortion etc.
Whereas chemoreceptor detect chemical changes in ennionment & send signal to the central nervous system. These are present in tongue papillae & detect chemicals & send perception to brain.
